My Stepmother Is Soft and Charming

Chapter 440

Seeing this, the other Gu family members said a few polite words and left.

After they left, the eldest aunt and Madam Xing hurried to take the Taoist priest to deal with the matter, and they also left in a hurry.

At this point, Qiwuyuan was quiet.

Du Jingyi took a bottle and put it under Gu Shaoyu's nose for him to sniff. The man gradually woke up and said.

"Madam, this secret medicine is really useful. It can even deceive the famous doctors in Jinling City."

Du Jingyi smiled. This was thanks to her father, Mr. Du, who liked to hoard a lot of money at home to get the secret medicine from the Western Regions. One kind was used for the fifth room of the Duke's Mansion in the past, and another one was used for Gu Shaoyu today.

"General, stop joking. Now both of us have reasons not to appear in front of everyone. What should we do next?"

Gu Shaoyu turned over and drank a mouthful of warm water. When he opened his eyes again, he was no longer half dead. He was like a wolf that had succeeded in its plan and was about to attack its prey from behind.

"Let Luo Yuan disguise himself as me and lie here waiting. I'm afraid those people have already noticed your identity and may take action. He can protect you well. As for me, I will naturally dig those things out. Once the emperor's edict arrives, we can uproot all the remnants of the previous dynasty in Jinling City."

Hearing this, Du Jingyi didn't react at all. Luo Yuan outside the house looked distressed. No way, let him stay alive again?

He felt that this kind of work should be given to Ni Yang. He had rested for so long, and he should charge into battle!

But before he could speak, Ni Yang next to him teased him.

"Fulfill the general's order well. Now is just an appetizer. When the emperor's edict comes, I promise that you will be the first to rush."

When Ni Yang said this, he didn't even blink. His sincerity moved everyone, including Luo Yuan.

But Luo Yuan forgot one thing at this moment. Ni Yang said it, but how could he make Gu Shaoyu's decision? So it was the same as not saying it!

Feeling that there was hope in the future, Luo Yuan didn't think this job was difficult at this moment. He even volunteered to go to disguise himself. At the same time, Gu Shaoyu and Ni Yang quietly left the Gu family that night under the dark and windy sky and headed straight for Qingshui Town.

There, Mu Lianying and others who had been waiting for a long time, their eyes were bright like wild wolves out for food, and everything they saw was glowing with a green light.

The next day, a grand ritual was held in the Gu family's cemetery.

The whole people of Qingshui Town had heard about it, and some people even went outside to watch the excitement. Although they could not see what was going on in the cemetery, they could tell from what they heard that there must be a big fight inside.

However, the Gu family did not tell the outsiders that this ritual was performed because Gu Shaoyu fell ill, but said that they were doing their best for the old lady Gu in advance. After all, the death anniversary was there, and the old marshal Gu and others had performed a month-long ritual in the past, so the outsiders did not think much about it.

With the eldest aunt and Madam Xing in charge, no one in the Gu family said anything, and they also hoped that after the ritual was over, Gu Shaoyu would get better and continue to add glory to the Gu family.

And the whole October ended with the Gu family staying at home.

On the first day of the winter month, the temperature in Jinling City began to drop significantly, and the coolness suddenly made people change from autumn clothes to winter clothes, followed by a winter rain that made people's hands and feet cold.

At the same time, a piece of news that shook the Seven Real Estates finally spread from Sui'an City to Jinling City. As the prefect, Gu Yanguang learned the news only after Zheng Deli led his men into his government office.

"What are you doing? You dare to barge into the prefect's mansion? Are you going to die?"

The one who shouted was the guard in the government office. They had never seen such a scene since they came here to take office, so they naturally shouted loudly.

But Zheng Deli had a bad temper. He whipped the man with a whip, and the man was beaten so hard that his skin was torn and he screamed in pain.

"What?"

Then he shouted loudly to the people present.

"The Tiger Guards, in accordance with the imperial decree of His Majesty, searched the prefect's government office. All the people were detained pending trial. No interference was allowed. Those who violated the order would be killed on the spot!"

"Yes!"

The emperor's imperial decree also required the search of the prefect's government office?

With just one sentence, the guards, who were not very strong in fighting, dropped their armor and squatted on the ground, waiting for their fate.

Zheng Deli looked at him with disdain and ran straight to where Gu Yanguang was.

He was taking a rest at noon, and when he opened his eyes again, Zheng Deli's sledgehammer was pressing on him, and his face was purple!

"Aren't you the deputy commander of the Tiger Guards? What are you doing?"

"Master Gu, please come in! Your third brother committed a crime in Sui'an City and has been convicted by the Ministry of Justice. He is accused of harboring the remnants of the previous dynasty. I think your official position is over. Oh no, it should be said that your life is over. Go, go to the prison to go through the formalities, and it will be considered that your death is not unjust."

"What! You..."

Gu Yanguang had no idea about this news. He knew that his third brother had been away for a long time. He thought he was going to stay in Sui'an City to make connections. Unexpectedly, he didn't make connections, but lost his life. Cold sweat soaked his entire back.

Zheng Deli was too lazy to talk nonsense with him. He immediately asked someone to tie up Gu Yanguang. So when he was taken away, he was still wearing a single layer of clothes, and he was shivering with cold.

But he wanted to complain, but with a cloth in his mouth, he could not get any help from heaven or earth.

The people did not know why, so they watched a group of people rush into the governor's mansion, and then escorted the prisoners away in a mighty manner. Half of the people were left, and they began to search the government office one after another. The noise was so loud that people trembled.

At the same time, the ancestral home of the seventh branch of the Gu family and the command office in the city where Gu Yanxing was located were also investigated at the same time. One went to Lord Xing, and the other went to the Tiger Guards led by Luo Yuan.

However, Luo Yuan's search was empty, while Lord Xing was fighting two people alone. He happened to see Gu Yanxing coming back to visit his father, and he immediately turned his face and said.

"Where did the news come from? Why didn't I receive it? You want to use these fake things to deceive us, it's just a fool's dream!"

The seventh old man and Gu Yanxing naturally knew that the matter was exposed, and they might run away one by one. Gu Yanxing refused to admit it, just to escape from here.

Although he was talking to Lord Xing, he glanced around and saw that there were only 20 or 30 people coming, so he had a plan in mind.

Father and son are connected by heart, and the Seventh Old Master naturally knew what his son was going to do, so he helped to cover for him.
